PARIS PAPERS. PAnrse JeLY 2.—The fete given by the Prince of warzenb,,.rg, the Austrian Ambassador, took place yesterday, at which their Majesties, the Em peror and Empress were present.. They arrived at te n o'clock. The garden was illuminated with mueli 'taste. It presented different views of the country, which the Empress inhabited in her in fancy. The opera •dancers - executed the dances, dressed in the costumes of the different people of tlre Austrian moim - chy. This part of the tete was folle\eed by • uncommonly fine fire works. Twelve linudrel persons were invited. In order to receive so large a party, the Prince, according to the usual ctistom ad'Opted et Paris, had caused to. be ereEted with planks of limner a ball-room, ornamented with pictures et gauze, muslins, and other light stbas. This s loon 'offered a very fine coup deed. Tee Qeeen of Naples opened the ball with Prince Esteritazy, and was followed by the Viceroy and Princess Pat,ire of Schwarzenherg, wife of the eldest brother of the Ambassador. After the co tilions, a Scotch reel was danced, during which their Majesties arose to make the tour of the circle, and speak to theladie. The Empress had_ returned to her arm chair;, and the Emperor was at the other extrt rutty of the saloon, tear the Princes Pauline of Scle.vm zceherg, who lied presented her daughters to him, when the ft ime of a wax candle caught the drapery of a window curtain. Count Dumanoi. - , Chamberlein of the Emperor, and many other Offi':ers, who were near him, en deavoured to tear off the curtain, but the flame got They immedtately informed the Emperor, who direetly went to the arm chair of the Empress, and was instantly surrounded by the Ambassadors and Officers of the Austrian toga ion, who persuaded him to quit the place.— `rue tire extended itself with the rapidity of light , rang, and his Majesty slowly retired with the Em press, recommending calmness, in order to prevent ah disorder. The .openings of the ball-room for tueately being very capacious, the crowd could easily get into the garden, but many mothers lost much time in scotching for their daughters, from whom they bad been separated by the Scotch Reel, and many young persons, in endeavouring to find their mot Lers. The rapidity of the fire was so great that the Queen of Naples, who followed in the suite of • the Emperor, having. fallen, was only saved by the presence of mind of the Grand Duke of Wurtzburg. The Queen of Westphalia was coodue:ted from the Saloon by the King of West phalia. and Count Metternich. The Viceroy, who remained at the bottom of the ball-room, and who feartd to mix in the crowd with the Vice Queen,. perceis.cd that the. fall of the lustres and ceiling in terrupted lire passage, had, fortunately, remark ed a door, which led to the apartments of the hotel, by whiett he got out. Happily nobody has ' perished: Some twenty Ladies 'have been more or less wounded. Tire Princess Layep, wife of the Rus sian Chnsul, as well as the Ladies of General Baron Tonsard and the Prefect of Istria, have, either in consequence of being seized with terror, or stopped in their getting out by some obstacles, been grie vously' lite t. friece Kurakin, tire Russian Ambassador,•bad the misfortune to tail upon the - steps which lead Aiom ' fire: ball-room to the garden they were..then ori fire. He was for a moment insensible. Two Offi cers of the Austrian Legation, and two Officers of the Imperial Guard saved him—He keeps his bed, and is in considerable pain. The garden, extensive and well-lighted, presented during half an hour tife• •speetaele of husbands calling for their wives, of wives calling upon their husbands and children, and who, the moment they found each other, embraced siLh transport, as if a long absence had separated them. Tlre‘Emperor and Empress got into a car riage at the garden-gate, when the Emperorfound his coontry.equipages which waited for him at the Elysian Fields, and had placed the EMpress in one of theta, he returned to Prince SchWarzenbeig, at tended by,an aid .de-camp. • • Princess .Pauline Schwarzenherg' . wai among the• lam who remained in the ball-room. She held one other 'daughters by the hand. A piece of bbrning wood fell upon this young person, which a man who was near her took up, and carried out of the saloon. She was herself hurried into the garden:— No longer seeing her daughter, she ran every where calling her' with great lamentations. She met the King of Westphalia, who endeavoured to calm her. She addresSed herself to Pt ince Borghese , and Count Regnant]: Ater searching for a quarter of an hour, *impelled by the heroism of maternal love, she en tered the burning Saloon, from which moment we know not what has become of her. The fire was then got under, the Ambassador's hotel preserVed, and tranquility re-established. Prince Joseph Schwarzenberg was engaged all night in search of his wife, who was not to be found either at her brother's, the Ambassador, or at M. de Metternich's. He was doubtful of his misfortune till the day broke, when a disfigured corpse was fOund near - the saloon, which Dr. Gall thought to be that of Yrincess Schwarzenberg. It remained oo longer•doubtful when her diamonds and the Me da lion of her children, which she wore suspended from her neck, were examined. Princess Pauline Schwarzenberg was daughter of the Senator Aremberg. She was mother of eight childreb, and four months advanced in pregnancy. She was lunch distinguishetkOr the graces of her person, as by the excellent qualities of her mind and heart. The affeetionate aa which cost her her life, prokes . hpw.mrich she deserves to be regretted, for death was most evident. The flames were most terrific—none but a mother could have faced such danger.

The Emperor retired at three 'o'clock in the morning. He sent several tiwes in tie course of the night to enquire the fate of the Princess Pauline Schwarzenberg, which remained uncertain. At 5 o'clock in the morning he received the account of her death. His Majesty, who had a particular esteem for ibis Princess, regrets her loss extremely. —Her Majesty the Empress exhibited the greatest calmness during the whole of the evening, but on hearing this morning of the death of the Princess, she shed abundance of tears.—(Monileur, July 3.) PARIS, lULY 3. REPORT TO HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR AND KING, JUNE 30, 181 U. SIRE—Tour Majesty has dite&ed me, by your order of the date of the 18th of tilts month, to make a report of all that concerns the Ex-General Sarrazin. " John Sarrazin was born in the borough of Saint Silocshe, in the canton .of Penne, in the de partment of the Lot and Garonne, on the 15th of August, 1770, his parents were farmers. On the 27th of September, 1786, he was inrolled in the sth Regiment of Dragoons; which was disbanded on the 14111 of September, 1787. - " At this time he settled at Reole, in the depart ment of La Gironde, where he exercised the pro-. fession of teacher of mathematics. On the Ist of September, 1790, he obtained the place of profes sor of mathematics in the school of Sorreze, which I,vas,then under the direttion of the Benedittines, and it was no doubt this circumstance which gave rise to the report that he had been a monk, an asser tion which certainly has never been proved. He left this employment two years afterwards, to follow the movement which almost the whole French na tion then made towards the frontiers, and he repair ed to the army of the North. " Being sent to Chalons for the instruction of the young engineers in the school of artillery, he was there when atter the taking of Verdun, the inha bitants of Chalons formed a battalion, of which he was appointed Adjutant-Major, the tundions of which appointment he I,erforinc'd till the 20th of September, 1792, the time of the disbanding of the battalion; but these circumstances, found in a me moir signed by himself, are only warranted by his own declaration. What is certain is, that he was ap pointed at Metz, Lieutepant of a Volunteer Corn pally, called the Saint Mawrice, at the end of 1792, .and Captain of the same company on the lath March, 1793. " On his first entrance into the service, he gave proofs of ihat restless intriguing spirit which he has constantly shewn in his military career. He con fesses himself, in the memoir above cited, that, for having taken part in some remonstrances which appeared seditious, he was broken and de graded by order of General Houchard in 1793, and obliged to serve as a common soldier. He adds, that on the Ist of October, 1793, lie joined at Chad'. lon, the chasseurs of the Gironde, that, he was pre sent in difierent affairs, in the army of La Vendee, -in which he was in quality of Secretary to General Marcean, and was appointed adjunct to the , Adju tant's General, on the 9th of Prairial, year 2. On the 6th of Frutlidor, of the same year, he was ap pointed Adjunct of the first class io the. corps of artillery by the representative of the people, Gilet, who had been sent to the army of the Sambre and the Meuse. ?lin the 6th of Brumaire, ,year three, the same representative appointed him Adjutant General Chief .of.. Battalion, in consideration of the testimonies which General Marceau had given of his conduct af ter the eipedition of Coblentz. "The . 18th Brumaire, ' third year, his appoint rnent-taras_confirmed by rhe Committee of Public Welfare and on the 6th Prairial following - he ob , tained the Commission of Adjutant-General, Chief of Brigade. . "He made the campaigns of the year three, year four, and year five with the armies of Sambre, and Meuse, and Italy. " On. the 27th Frudidor, sixth year, he received orders to proceed to Rochefort, to serve in one of the divisions'of the army of England. He was one of the small . number of Frenchmen who . madelgood their descent in Ireland, and he was appointed by General Humbert, General of - Brigade, at the cap ture of Killala, and General of Division at the affair of Castlebar, where he took a standard from the enemy's horse. On his return to. France he found the Executive Directory very little disposed to con firm so rapid a promotion. He demanded to serve as Adjutant-General of the army of Italy commanded by General Joubert. Having been charged to con duet a body of troops to the army of Rome, he made with that army the campaigu of the seven - th year-in Naples, and was appointed General of Brigade on the field of battle, after the ari - iiir'of Trebia:.--At the army of Italy his suspicious and doubtful CC:4 . olkt ex posed him to suspicions humiliating to a military person ; he was charged with acting the part of ..an informer; his constant opposition to the orders of his chiefs strengthened that opinion, and the no pleasaet tteatirrent he experienced compelled him to ask leave to retire. On the tith (Pluviose) he re-. ceived orders to return to France. On the tst Prairial, year 9, notice was given him that lie was no longer in the list of Staff-dtficers. Rain dto pri vate life, his natural inquietude inspired hint with several plans. " He requested sometimes to be employed in America pnd sometimes in the East Indies. He expressed a desire to serve in the troops of the Bata vian Republic, but he 'fulfilled none of these resolu tions; and he was still in France, when on the 10th of Venderniaire, he was re-established on the staff of Generals of Brigade in the room of General Colli, appointed General of Division. Two months after wards he was appointed to go to St. Domingo. He remained there only a year, the bad state of his health inducing General Rochambean to send him back to France, where he arrived on the 22d Frionaire, Year 12. ‘‘ General Augereau then commanded a camp ; General . Sarrazin applied, and obLiined to be em :ployed .under his command. His character, ever inclined to accusation, soon raised, against bim.no mero4s, enemies. He avowed himself the accuser -of the. Goneas and Administratiikii of the army in a memoir which Ise transmitted to the Emperor, un der tidte of the .ead at Frirnaire, year 13. The cry 01 indignation which was ra6ed against him, de rived hinrof the courage of supporting publicly - the part be had undertaken, and : raised such a storm against him, that he saw himself again, for the se cond time, obliged to request,leave to resign, lie was nevertheless retained in his post; and made with that part of the army, the campaigns of the year 14, or 1/306. Some disputes, which he had with General Houdeht, ia whose divisi,in he served, obliged the Government to recal him to France. " On the 31st of Otiober, 1866, he was ern plOyed in the 24th Military Division, under the or ders of General Chambar[hac, who confided to him the command of the Department of the Lys. Tile misunderstanding which soon took place between the Prefeet and him, evinced the necessity of giving him another destination, and he was sent to the Isle of Cadsand. His conduti, continually extravagant, and his arbitrary proceedings, incensed against him theinhabitants, the anilinritier;and General 'Chain barlbac. The complaints which reached Govern ment induced it to change Lis residence, and he received letters of service for the 16th front division. He served in this Division from t th of February, 1809, and had the happiness to live there in excellent liarmony with both ft's supe riors and Subalterns, fill by tur most disgraceful (1 , - sertion, he imprinted an indelible opprobi ium un his name. " Such is the history of General Sarrazin, which, to speak properly, is only that of the extra,iigance of his mind, the errors of his chmacter, and Li, 0 nu merous absurdities.

The same day he addressed a Proclamation to 'the inhabi tants,- at the conclusion of which be says,— " By your manners and language you have for a lone time been Italians; now you are effe&ively become so; You have, for the most part, during the late anarchy, given proofs- of that good spirit with which you are animated, and you certainly ri val the ancient people of Italy,'in fidelity and de votion to the great NAPOLEON, and in love for the best of Princes.

The arrival of the Russian Minister Plenipo tentiary at Belgrade immediately caused all . ,lthe troubles in Ser i via to cease. All parties have united in acknowledging CZERNI GEORGES, who, on his part, seems every day snore inclined to resign his authority. We are assured that, seduced by the intrigues of a foreign power, he has changed his system. The Russians still continue to blockade \\ridden. They have gained considerable advantages upon the Danube, below that place, and have penetrated into Bulgaitat;but it appearrthey wait the arrival of new reinforcements to enable them to carry on their ope rations on amore extensive plan.
